So it occurred to me today that I never posted pics of Anime Festival Orlando, which is really a shame, because, well…I think my costumes turned out really well this year and I want to show them off!

In the pics that follow, I am dressed as Mai from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Arisa Uotani from Fruits Basket. I worked hard on the costume for Mai, and I feel this costume shows how far my sewing skills have come. The Uo costume was simpler in terms of what I had to sew, since I just modified store-bought items, but I'm pleased with how it turned out, too. (I think I make a pretty good Uo in terms of facial expressions/body language, too.) Well, see what you think:

*sigh* I thought that would be more exciting:



BFF (as long as no boys come between us):




A different girl trio, from Fruits Basket:



Meanwhile, the boys are at it again:

If you like the Furuba pics I've posted, I recommend clicking through to the album, as it was a really good photo shoot over all. (For the Avatar costumes we were losing our lighting, I'm afraid. We might have to a arrange another photoshoot of those costumes some time.)
